Trophies/Achievements Guide
Welcome, Shinobi! This section is your ultimate resource for unlocking every Trophy and Achievement in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. Whether you're aiming for that coveted Platinum or simply want to prove your mastery, follow these detailed strategies to conquer every challenge.
Story Mode Completion Trophies
Many trophies are tied directly to progressing through the main Story Mode. Focus on completing each chapter to naturally unlock these. Remember to aim for S-Rank on your first playthrough for efficiency, as this will save you a second run.
- A New History: Complete the Prologue. This is unmissable and will unlock after your first story battle.
- The Two Uchiha: Finish Chapter 1. Pay close attention to the Quick Time Events (QTEs) during the cinematic sequences for bonus points towards your S-Rank.
- The End of the War: Complete the final chapter of the Story Mode. This will unlock after the credits roll.
- Master of the Story: Achieve S-Rank on all Story Mode battles. This is one of the more challenging trophies.
- Strategy: To S-Rank a battle, you generally need to maintain high health, land numerous combos, use your Ultimate Jutsu effectively, and successfully complete all QTEs. If you miss an S-Rank, you can replay the specific battle from the Story Mode menu. Consider lowering the difficulty to "Hero" if you're struggling, as S-Rank requirements are slightly more lenient on easier difficulties.
- Key Items: Utilize Battle Items like Chakra Recovery Pills or Attack Boosts to gain an edge in tougher fights. These can be purchased from the Item Shop in the Adventure Mode hub.
Adventure Mode Exploration Trophies
Adventure Mode offers a more open-world experience with various side quests and collectibles. These trophies require thorough exploration and interaction with the game world.
- A Journey of Friendship: Complete all "Fragment" missions in Adventure Mode. These are marked with a green scroll icon on your map.
- Walkthrough: After completing the main Story Mode, Adventure Mode becomes available. Speak to the various characters with green scroll icons above their heads in locations like the Hidden Leaf Village, Sand Village, and other iconic areas. These missions often involve simple tasks like fetching items, defeating groups of enemies, or participating in short battles. Completing all of them will unlock this trophy.
- Memory Collector: Collect all "Memory Fragments." These are glowing blue orbs scattered throughout the Adventure Mode map.
- Locations: Memory Fragments are often found off the beaten path, behind buildings, or in hidden corners of each area. Explore every nook and cranny. Some are also awarded for completing specific side quests. A good strategy is to systematically clear each area of its fragments before moving to the next. The mini-map will often indicate nearby fragments with a small blue sparkle.
- Reward: Collecting all fragments unlocks additional lore and character interactions.
- Ultimate Ninja: Complete all "Ninja World Tournament" challenges in Adventure Mode.
- Strategy: The Ninja World Tournament is a series of progressively difficult battles. You'll need to defeat various opponents under specific conditions. Ensure your chosen character is well-equipped with Battle Items and has a good understanding of their moveset. Some challenges might require specific character types or team compositions.
Battle & Combat Skill Trophies
These trophies test your prowess in combat, often requiring specific actions or victories in various battle modes.
- First Victory: Win your first battle in any mode (excluding Story Mode tutorials). This will likely be one of your first trophies if you play Free Battle or Online.
- Combo Master: Land a 50-hit combo.
- Strategy: The easiest way to achieve this is by using characters with long, multi-hit Ultimate Jutsus or awakening forms. Try characters like Naruto (Sage Mode), Sasuke (Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan), or Madara Uchiha. In Free Battle, set the opponent to "Very Easy" and turn off their Substitution Jutsu in the battle settings. Start a basic combo, then immediately activate your Ultimate Jutsu when your Chakra is full.
- Awakening Master: Activate Awakening 10 times.
- Strategy: Simply enter Awakening Mode (hold down the Chakra button when your Storm Gauge is full) in any battle mode. Repeat 10 times. You can do this in Free Battle against a stationary opponent to speed up the process.
- Team Ultimate Jutsu!: Perform a Team Ultimate Jutsu.
- Strategy: In a team battle, ensure your team members are compatible for a Team Ultimate Jutsu (indicated by a bond icon next to their names). Fill your Storm Gauge, then activate your Ultimate Jutsu. If your teammates are compatible and close by, they will join in. This is easily done in Free Battle.
Collection & Miscellaneous Trophies
These trophies involve collecting various in-game items, customizing your profile, or achieving specific milestones.
- Card Collector: Collect 50 Ninja Info Cards.
- Acquisition: Ninja Info Cards are primarily obtained by purchasing them from the General Store in Adventure Mode, completing Story Mode battles, and sometimes as rewards for side quests. regularly check the General Store's inventory.
- Title Master: Unlock 10 different Titles.
- Unlocking Titles: Titles are earned by completing various in-game achievements, such as winning a certain number of online matches, defeating specific characters, or performing certain actions a set number of times. Check the "Ninja Info Card" section in the main menu to see your unlocked titles and their requirements.
- Money Bags: Accumulate 1,000,000 Ryo.
- Farming Strategy: Ryo is earned by completing battles, Story Mode chapters, and selling unwanted items at the General Store. Replaying S-Ranked Story Mode battles or high-difficulty Free Battles can be an efficient way to earn Ryo. Ensure you're not spending excessively on items you don't need.
